I have been stuck on finding a Marriage cert Between William Morris, and Esther Farrell, Esther was born 1826 died 1897, Loads of William Morris but need a wedding to match them up, i would love to get some help on this, I cannot find anything on "Irish Genealogy.ie"

Just noticed that the Baptism for the kids are all in St nicholas...I have emailed them a few times...think the ladys name is sarah....she was really helpful.....email is on their website

They are mentioned on 3 marriages for 3 of their children....all Harrington street.....do you know the first child that was born? You may have tried https://registers.nli.ie/ if not try Harrington street....think marriages start from 1868.....I am on ancestry if you want me to look there...

The Irishgenealogy site has released more records online

Births Marriage and Deaths
See attachment for updated years

The site is slightly slow at the moment ...

I had a look at it as i wanted to check a 1917 birth and it was slow but it worked ok

Just curious

My mother in law always said she was born in Breffers Street

This caused some confusion when I was writing up the family history as I was thinking Beresford or Brabazon street etc as a match
The mother in law had passed away by then so no info there

but I was able to find out its real name through certs and the Census and If anyone is stuck on the same name i,ll be posting it in next post
------
Does anyone know of it ( breffers)...
( in particular why the Breffers name.. which was connected in some way to the French Hugeneots who settled in the area as weavers etc)
Thanks

The real name for "Breffers street" was Braithwaite Street but locals always called it Breffers

[kellier]

I know nothing of the Breffers but i know Braithwaite Street, i was in it last year and it was all blocks of flats on one side and i think just one building on the other side a pub

[john doran]

Kellier
Thanks for that on the Braithwaite info
--------
It's the Breffers reference thats puzzling.....am hoping to get its meaning
I asked some French people about it...zilch

It must be an expression from that area of Dublin
ps
Here is a photo of Poole street showing what Braithwaite street used to look like

They had the same type of buildings and that is Braithwaite street at the bottom of the photo going across Poole street
The wife's grandmother was born on Poole Street and moved a few yards away to Braithwaite street when she married
